Bear Peak via The Mesa Trail and Bear Canyon

Boulder - Denver - Golden - Fort Collins - Lyons

The Mesa Trail (2.75 miles), Bear Canyon Trail (1.85 miles) and Bear Peak West Ridge Trail (1.75 miles) pass through diverse terrain and a varied landscape en route to Bear Peak. Those who value the journey and destination equally may find this route preferable to the more direct but challenging ones of Gregory, Fern and Shadow Canyons.
